Wanted to ask your opinion on this error that I am getting while running my Wifi profile add code.
Now the code that you are seeing is an example which I am using (coz I am new to the Wlan interface in C#).
I am trying to add wlan capability to my program that will search for a certain wireless network, add that profile to the PC and connect it (ping test - got this working yay).
Please see the pic for the error: here What I have found is that if I remove the Cheesecake profile from the windows folder, the error does not happen. This tells me that the error could be something due to the profile being stored already. But not sure about it.
I am attaching my example code here as well FYI. Any help would be appreciated.
